This project is part of the Black History Month celebration because it supports a Black teacher or a school where the majority of the students are Black.
My Students
My day is always exciting. Working with K through 6th graders in a small group setting is fun and challenging. Every group is so different, and it is so much fun getting to know them all!
During small group time, we are process-driven, motivated, and encouraging with ourselves and each other.
I lead the intervention team at my school and work with five other hardworking and enthusiastic interventionists!
We work with kids who struggle, developing learners, and students who are ready for a challenge in small groups. These students have so much potential. They excel in a small group environment. Small group is perfect for these students because they get the individual attention they need and that does not always occur in a class of 30 students. They have come so far. We work on specific standards and foundational skills that they might have missed to fill in the gaps and push students further!
My Project
My students are struggling readers. They often don't feel they're good at reading and therefore, don't engage in the subject. Since they have so many needs, I've really tried to figure out ways to engage and motivate them. I've found two ways that really help get my students engaged in learning.
My students need books that are high interest and gateways into reading like graphic novel and books that have characters that look like them.
The wonder and engagement that I've seem come from a high quality graphic novel is so powerful. After reading book 1 in the Amulet series, a student returned to my room at the end of the day, threw open the door and exclaimed, "Where is book 2?!" When I told him it was checked out he said, "You don't understand, this is the first time I've been excited about a book." Your support will help more students feel that feeling!
